Chasing Yesterday

7digitalWhat we said:At this stage in his career, how many surprises can Noel Gallagher really have up his sleeve? The answer, of course, is very few, but that accounts for a large part of his appeal, right? The classic rock equivalent of a Kitemark, Noel Gallagher’s name on a record all-but guarantees soaring choruses made for bellowing-along to with friends. In this respect, his second solo album very much delivers on its promise. From the Johnny Marr-starring ‘Ballad Of The Mighty I’ to lost, pre-Oasis cut ‘You Know We Can’t Go Back’, Chasing Yesterday is another sturdy set of no-nonsense rock from the man who all-but invented it.
